| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas I agree with everything you said@lewm I wish i had the means to check the resonance of the arm tube aloneI'm pretty certain that there ought to be a relationship of arm resonance/ cartridge compliance/Oil weight.My own theory FWIW ste... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Can I just add that my logic is that the lower the compliance the heavier the silicone oil must be - It's like car suspension soft springs don't go with low viscosity oil as it will allow rebound and resonance and the 'damping' will not be perform... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas I used the Monster Sigma deliberately because it is a very light 4.5gram cartridge which is medium complianceI am going to use my Shelter 501 mk 2 next which is both heavier and much lower compliance.The use of the trough made a signi... | |
| Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT? @millercarbon has it totally right when he said make boards up for yourself. I bought a piledriver drill for £50.00 bought the drill bits about another £30 total (for 3 different size arms). If using wood use HSS. I have bought blanks of Walnut an... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Well @rauliruegas I tried the FR64s with the trough.My audio chain:1. Modified Townshend Rock Elite2. FR64s arm3. Monster Sigma Genesis 2000MC4. Cardas Golden Reference phono cable5. Lavardin IT amp6. DNM speaker cables7. Roksan Darius S1 speakers... | |
| Most hyped turntable, tonearm, and cartridge? Rega planer 9 - Kuzma Stabi XL - linn sondek (Although not rubbish as many claim) | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? A spring oscillates like the rubber spring in a cantilever the silicone acts to control the oscillation- I understand that it controls’velocity’ | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Hi @rauliruegas i think I will try some silicone o-rings first that’s unless I can get sorbothane o-rings - I think the use of tape is just a bit clumsy. I have various frequency sweeps and methods to measure arm/cartridge resonance - though I’m n... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? FYI I have asked Max Townshend for a copy of the White Paper from professor Jack Dinsdale about the damping on the Townshend Turntable. With luck he may stick it on his website. Due to an oafish error on my part i damaged the cable on my Helius Om... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @mijostyn I don't lack humour - just getting bored of the jibing when someone posts and wants to discuss a very valid point.That said resolution comparisons from in front of a computer screen is very interesting... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Why oh why does it come to handbags at dawn between the usual protagonists...It's a forum guys | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? @halcro which arms are ugly??? | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @mijostyn I have tried more than the one arm/cart with the trough including a Moerch DP6 that allows cartridge arm matching - however which way you do it the trough works its magic. It's just i use it with the Helius Omega - a very good arm.I agre... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? I have a Townshend Rock Elite with a Helius Omega. Sounds very good without the trough - sounds significantly better with the trough. For the uninitiated Townshend Rock turntables use a silicone damping trough at the headshell end. I have used ot... | |
| Magico vs the world @gregm I heard the FM at a show called 'the indulgence show' in London. FM are a very rare and exotic bird in the UK and I jumped at the chance. They played it with a band as comparison. Incredible.What amp do you use with the Magico. On some DArt... |
